PROXY STATEMENT
QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS
We are providing you with this proxy statement, which contains information about the items to be voted upon at our 20172018 Annual Meeting of Stockholders. To make this information easier to understand, we have presented some of the information below in a question and answer format.
Q:Why did you send me this proxy statement?
A:We sent you this proxy statement and the enclosed proxy card because our board of directors is soliciting your proxy to vote your shares of the Company’s common stock at the 20172018 Annual Meeting of Stockholders. This proxy statement includes information that we are required to provide to you under the rules of the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) and is designed to assist you in voting. This proxy statement, the proxy card and our 20162017 annual report to stockholders are being mailed to you on or about April 28, 2017.30, 2018.

Q:What is a proxy?
A:
A proxy is a person who votes the shares of stock of another person who does not attend a meeting. The term “proxy” also refers to the proxy card. When you return the enclosed proxy card, or give your proxy by telephone or over the Internet, you are giving us your permission to vote your shares of common stock at the annual meeting. The person who will vote your shares of common stock at the annual meeting is any of John E. Carter,Michael A. Seton, Todd M. Sakow or Lisa A. Drummond. They will vote your shares of common stock as you instruct. If you sign and return the proxy card, or authorize your proxy by telephone or over the Internet, and give no instructions, the proxies will vote FOR ALL of the director nominees and FOR the approval of the amendments to our Charter to comply with requests from a state securities administrator. With respect to any other proposals to be voted upon, they will vote in accordance with the recommendation of the board of directors or, in the absence of such a recommendation, in their discretion. The proxies will not vote your shares of common stock if you do not return the enclosed proxy card or submit your proxy by telephone or over the Internet. This is why it is important for you to return the proxy card or submit your proxy by telephone or over the Internet to us as soon as possible whether or not you plan on attending the meeting in person.
If you authorize your proxy by telephone or over the Internet, please do not return your proxy card.

Q:When is the annual meeting and where will it be held?
A:The annual meeting will be held on Friday, July 21, 2017,20, 2018, at 1:00 p.m. local time at our offices located at 4890 W. Kennedy Blvd., Suite 650, Tampa, Florida 33609.

Q:How many shares of common stock can vote?
A:As of the close of business on the record date of April 24, 2017,23, 2018, there were 74,072,71482,323,116 shares of our Class A common stock outstanding, 273,5088,689,384 shares of our Class I common stock outstanding, and 18,075,04937,517,423 shares of our Class T common stock outstanding and 496,575 shares of our Class T2 common stock outstanding. Every stockholder of record as of the close of business on April 24, 201723, 2018, is entitled to one vote for each share of common stock held at that date and time. Fractional shares will have corresponding fractional votes. For purposes of this proxy statement, when we refer to common stock, we are referring to Class A common stock, Class I common stock, Class T common stock and Class TT2 common stock.


Q:What is a “quorum”?
A:A “quorum” consists of the presence in person or by proxy of stockholders holding 50% of the outstanding shares as of the record date. There must be a quorum present in order for the annual meeting to be a duly held meeting at which business can be conducted. If you submit a properly executed proxy card, even if you abstain from voting or do not give instructions for voting, then you will at least be considered part of the quorum. Broker non-votes will also be counted to determine whether a quorum is present. A broker non-vote occurs when a broker, bank or other nominee holding shares for a beneficial owner does not vote on a particular proposal because the nominee does not have discretionary voting power with respect to that matter and has not received voting instructions from the beneficial owner.

Q:What may I vote on?
A:At the annual meeting, you will be asked to (i) consider and vote upon the election of five directors, each to hold office for a one-year term expiring at the 20182019 Annual Meeting of Stockholders and until his successor is duly elected and qualifies; (ii) consider and vote upon a proposal to make amendments to our Charter to comply with requests from a state securities administrator; and (iii) transact such other business as may properly come before the annual meeting or any adjournment or postponement thereof.

Q:How does the board of directors recommend I vote on the proposals?
A:
The board of directors unanimously recommends that you vote your shares “FOR ALL” nominees for election as director who are named as such in this proxy statement and "FOR" the approval of the amendments to our Charter to comply with requests from a state securities administrator. No director has informed us that he intends to oppose any action intended to be taken by us.

Q:Who is entitled to vote?
A:Anyone who owned our common stock at the close of business on April 24, 2017,23, 2018, the record date, is entitled to vote at the annual meeting.

Q:What vote is required to approve each proposal that comes before the annual meeting?
A:To elect the director nominees, the affirmative vote of a majority of the shares of the Company’s common stock present in person or by proxy at a meeting at which a quorum is present must be cast in favor of the proposal. Abstentions and broker non-votes will count as votes against the proposal to elect the director nominees. To amend our charter,Charter, the affirmative vote of a majority of all votes entitled to be cast on the amendments is required for their approval, with each class of shares voting together as a single class. Abstentions and broker-non votes will have the same effect as votes cast against the proposed amendments set forth in Proposal 2.

Q:How do I vote?
A:You may vote your shares of common stock either in person or by proxy. In order to vote in person, you must attend the annual meeting. Whether you plan to attend the meeting and vote in person or not, we urge you to have your vote recorded. Stockholders may submit their proxy via mail, using the enclosed proxy card. In addition, stockholders who live in the United States may authorize a proxy by following the “Vote by Phone” instructions on the enclosed proxy card. Stockholders with Internet access may submit a proxy by following the “Vote by Internet” instructions on the enclosed proxy card. The telephone and Internet voting procedures are designed to authenticate the stockholder’s identity and to allow stockholders to authorize a proxy and confirm that their instructions have been properly recorded. If the telephone or Internet option is available to you, we strongly encourage you to use it because it is faster and less costly. If you attend the annual meeting, you also may submit your vote in person, and any previous votes or proxies that you submitted will be superseded by the vote that you cast at the annual meeting. If you return your signed proxy card, or authorize your proxy by telephone or over the Internet, but do not indicate how you wish to vote, your shares of common stock will be counted as present for purposes of determining a quorum and voted (i) FOR ALL nominees for director, (ii) FOR the approval of the amendments to our Charter to comply with requests from a state securities administrator and (iii) with respect to any other proposals to be voted upon, in accordance with the recommendation of the board of directors or, in the absence of such a recommendation, in the discretion of the proxies.


Q:Will my vote make a difference?
A:
Yes. Your vote is needed to ensure that the proposals can be acted upon. Unlike most other public companies, no large brokerage houses or affiliated groups of stockholders own substantial blocks of our shares. As a result, a large number of our stockholders must be present in person or by proxy at the annual meeting to constitute a quorum. THEREFORE, YOUR VOTE IS VERY IMPORTANT EVEN IF YOU OWN ONLY A SMALL NUMBER OF SHARES! Your immediate response will help avoid potential delays and may save us significant additional expense associated with soliciting stockholder votes. We encourage you to participate in the governance of the Company and welcome your attendance at the annual meeting.

Q:What if I return my proxy card and then change my mind?
A:You have the right to revoke your proxy at any time before the vote by:
 (1)notifying Lisa A. Drummond, our secretary, in writing at our offices located at 4890 W. Kennedy Blvd., Suite 650, Tampa, Florida 33609;
 (2)attending the meeting and voting in person; or
 (3)authorizing another proxy again at a later date using the same procedure as set forth above, but before the annual meeting date. Only the most recent vote will be counted and all others will be discarded regardless of the method of voting.

Q:How will voting on any other business be conducted?
A:Although we do not know of any business to be considered at the annual meeting other than the election of directors and an approval of certain charter amendments, if any other business is properly presented at the annual meeting, your proxy gives authority to John E. Carter, the chairman of the board of directors andMichael A. Seton, our chief executive officer and president, Todd M. Sakow, our chief financial officer and treasurer, and Lisa A. Drummond, our chief operating officer and secretary, to vote on such matters in accordance with the recommendation of the board of directors or, in the absence of such a recommendation, in their discretion.

Q:Is this proxy statement the only way that proxies are being solicited?
A:No. In addition to mailing proxy solicitation material, our directors and officers, or employees of Carter Validus Advisors II, LLC, our advisor, as well as third-party proxy service companies we retain, may also solicit proxies in person, by telephone or by any other electronic means of communication we deem appropriate. No additional compensation will be paid to our directors or officers or to employees of affiliates of our advisor for such services. We have retained Mediant Communications, Inc. to assist us in the distribution of proxy materials and solicitation of votes. We anticipate the costs of services incidental to the proxy solicitation to be approximately $84,000,$109,000, excluding out of pocket expenses.

Q:Who pays the cost of this proxy solicitation?
A:We will pay all the costs of soliciting these proxies. We will also reimburse brokerage houses and other custodians, nominees and fiduciaries for their reasonable out-of-pocket expenses for forwarding proxy and solicitation materials to our stockholders.

Q:If I plan to attend the annual meeting in person, should I notify anyone?
A:While you are not required to notify anyone in order to attend the annual meeting, if you do plan to attend the meeting, we would appreciate it if you would call us toll free at (813) 287-0101 to let us know that you will be attending the meeting so that we will be able to prepare a suitable meeting room for the attendees.



Q:Whom should I call if I have any questions?
A:If you have any questions about how to submit your proxy, or if you need additional copies of this proxy statement or the enclosed proxy card or voting instructions, you should contact:

PROPOSAL NO. 1 — ELECTION OF DIRECTORS
At the annual meeting, you and the other stockholders will vote on the election of all five members of our board of directors. Those persons elected will serve as directors until the 20182019 Annual Meeting of Stockholders and until their successors are duly elected and qualify. The board of directors has nominated the following people for re-election as directors:
Robert M. Winslow
John E. Carter
Randall Greene
Jonathan Kuchin
Ronald Rayevich
Each of the nominees for director is a current member of our board of directors. The principal occupation and certain other information about the nominees are set forth below. We are not aware of any family relationship among any of the nominees to become directors or any of the executive officers of the Company. Each of the nominees for election as director has stated that there is no arrangement or understanding of any kind between him and any other person relating to his election as a director, except that such nominees have agreed to serve as our directors if elected.
If you return a properly executed proxy card, or if you authorize your proxy by telephone or over the Internet, unless you direct the proxies to withhold your votes, the individuals named as the proxies will vote your shares for the election of the nominees listed above. If any nominee becomes unable or unwilling to stand for re-election, the board may reduce its size, designate a substitute nominee, or fill the vacancy through a majority vote of the remaining directors (including a majority of the remaining independent directors if the vacancy relates to an independent director position). If a substitute is designated, proxies voting on the original nominee will be cast for the substituted nominee.
Vote Required; Recommendation
The vote of holders of a majority of all shares present in person or by proxy at a meeting of stockholders duly called at which a quorum is present, without the necessity for concurrence by the board of directors, is necessary for the election of a director. For purposes of the election of directors, abstentions and broker non-votes will have the same effect as votes cast against each director. A properly executed proxy card, or instruction by telephone or over the Internet, indicating “FOR ALL” will be considered a vote in favor of all nominees for re-election as director. A properly executed proxy card, or instruction by telephone or over the Internet, indicating “FOR ALL EXCEPT” will be considered a vote in favor of all nominees except those nominees you specifically list and a vote against the nominees you specifically list. A properly executed proxy card, or instruction by telephone or over the Internet, indicating “WITHHOLD ALL” will be considered a vote against all directors.
THE BOARD UNANIMOUSLY RECOMMENDS STOCKHOLDERS VOTE “FOR ALL” OF THE NOMINEES FOR ELECTION AS DIRECTORS.


CERTAIN INFORMATION ABOUT MANAGEMENT
Board of Directors
In accordance with applicable law and our charter and bylaws, the business and affairs of the Company are managed under the direction of our board of directors.
Board Membership Criteria and Selection of Directors
The board of directors annually reviews the appropriate experience, skills and characteristics required of board members in the context of the then-current membership of the board. This assessment includes, in the context of the perceived needs of the board at that time, issues of knowledge, experience, judgment and skills such as an understanding of the real estate industry or brokerage industry or accounting or financial management expertise. Other considerations include the candidate’s independence from conflicts of interest with the Company and the ability of the candidate to attend board meetings regularly and to devote an appropriate amount of effort in preparation for those meetings. It also is expected that independent directors nominated by the board of directors shall be individuals who possess a reputation and hold positions or affiliations befitting a director of a large publicly held company and are actively engaged in their occupations or professions or are otherwise regularly involved in the business, professional or academic community. A majority of our directors must be independent, as defined in our charter. Moreover, as required by our charter, at least one of our independent directors must have at least three years of relevant real estate experience, and each director must have at least three years of relevant experience demonstrating the knowledge and experience required to successfully acquire and manage the type of assets we acquire and manage.
The board of directors is responsible for selecting its own nominees and recommending them for election by the stockholders. Each of our nominees was recommended by our board of directors. Pursuant to our charter, however, the independent directors must nominate replacements for any vacancies among the independent director positions. All director nominees then stand for election by the stockholders annually.
In its nomination review process, our board of directors solicits candidate recommendations from its own members and management of the Company. We have not and do not currently employ or pay a fee to any third party to identify or evaluate, or assist in identifying or evaluating, potential director nominees, although we are not prohibited from doing so if we determine such action to be in the best interests of the Company. Our board of directors also will consider recommendations made by stockholders for director nominees who meet the established director criteria set forth above. In order to be considered by our board of directors, recommendations made by stockholders must be submitted within the time frame required to request a proposal to be included in the proxy materials. See “Stockholder Proposals” below for more information on procedures to be followed by our stockholders in submitting such recommendations. In evaluating the persons recommended as potential directors, our board of directors will consider each candidate without regard to the source of the recommendation and take into account those factors that our board of directors determines are relevant. Stockholders may directly nominate potential directors (without the recommendation of our board of directors) by satisfying the procedural requirements for such nomination as provided in Article II, Section 11 of our bylaws.
In considering possible candidates for election as a director, the board of directors is guided by the principle that each director should (i) be an individual of high character and integrity; (ii) be accomplished in his or her respective field, with superior credentials and recognition; (iii) have relevant expertise and experience upon which to base advice and guidance to management in the conduct of our real estate investment and management activities; (iv) have sufficient time available to devote to our affairs; and (v) represent the long-term interests of our stockholders as a whole. Our board of directors may also consider an assessment of its diversity, in its broadest sense, reflecting, but not limited to, age, geography, gender and ethnicity. While we do not have a formal diversity policy, we believe that the backgrounds and qualifications of our directors, considered as a group, should provide a significant composite mix of experience, knowledge and abilities that will allow our board of directors to fulfill its responsibilities.

Attendance at Board Meetings and the Annual Stockholder Meeting
The board of directors held 12seven meetings during the fiscal year ended December 31, 2016.2017. Each of our incumbent directors attended at least 75.0% of the aggregate total number of meetings of our board of directors held during the period for which he served as a director and of the aggregate total number of meetings held by all committees of our board of directors on which he served during the periods in which he served.
Although we do not have a formal policy regarding attendance by members of our board of directors at our Annual Meeting of Stockholders, we encourage all of our directors to attend. One of our directors attended the 20162017 Annual Meeting of Stockholders.
Director Independence
As required by our charter,Charter, a majority of the members of our board of directors must qualify as “independent directors” as affirmatively determined by the board of directors. Our board of directors consults with our legal counsel and counsel to the independent directors, as applicable, to ensure that our board of directors’ determinations are consistent with our charter and applicable securities and other laws and regulations regarding the definition of “independent director.”
Consistent with these considerations, after review of all relevant transactions or relationships between each director, or any of his family members, and the Company, our senior management and our independent registered public accounting firm, the board has determined that Messrs. Kuchin, Greene, and Rayevich, who comprise a majority of our board, qualify as independent directors. A copy of our independent director definition, which is contained in our charter and complies with the requirements of the North American Securities Administrators Association’s Statement of Policy Regarding Real Estate Investment Trusts, or the NASAA REIT Guidelines, wasis attached hereto as an appendix to the proxy statement for our 2015 Annual Meeting of Stockholders, which was filed with the SEC on April 23, 2015.Appendix B. Although our shares are not listed for trading on any national securities exchange, our independent directors also meet the current independence and qualifications requirements of the New York Stock Exchange.
Committees of our Board of Directors
Audit Committee
The board of directors maintains one standing committee, the audit committee, to assist in fulfilling its responsibilities. The audit committee is composed of Messrs. Kuchin, Greene and Rayevich, all three of whom are independent directors. The audit committee reports regularly to the full board and annually evaluates its performance. The audit committee meets periodically during the year, usually in conjunction with regular meetings of the board. The audit committee, by approval of at least a majority of the members, selects the independent registered public accounting firm to audit our annual financial statements, reviews with the independent registered public accounting firm the plans and results of the audit engagement, approves the audit and non-audit services provided by the independent registered public accounting firm, reviews the independence of the independent registered public accounting firm, considers the range of audit and non-audit fees and reviews the adequacy of our internal accounting controls. Our board of directors has adopted a charter for the audit committee that sets forth its specific functions and responsibilities. The audit committee charter can be located on our website at www.cvmissioncriticalreit2.com by clicking on “Corporate Governance,” and then on “Audit Committee Charter.”
Although our shares are not listed for trading on any national securities exchange, all three members of the audit committee meet the current independence and qualifications requirements of the New York Stock Exchange, as well as our charter and applicable rules and regulations of the SEC. While all three members of the audit committee have significant financial and/or accounting experience, the board of directors has determined that Mr. Kuchin satisfies the SEC’s requirements for an “audit committee financial expert” and has designated Mr. Kuchin as our audit committee financial expert. The audit committee met sevensix times during 2016.2017.
Compensation Committee
Our board of directors believes that it is appropriate for our board not to have a standing compensation committee based upon the fact that our executive officers, including our principal financial officer, and non-independent directors do not receive compensation directly from us for services rendered to us, and we do not intend to pay any compensation directly to our executive officers or non-independent directors.


Nominating Board of Directors — Functions
We believe that our board of directors is qualified to perform the functions typically delegated to a nominating committee, and that the formation of a separate committee is not necessary at this time. Therefore, all members of our board of directors develop the criteria necessary for prospective members of our board of directors and participate in the consideration of director nominees. The primary functions of the members of our board of directors relating to the consideration of director nominees are to conduct searches and interviews for prospective director candidates, if necessary, review background information for all candidates for the board of directors, including those recommended by stockholders, and formally propose the slate of director nominees for election by the stockholders at the annual meeting.
Communication with Directors
We have established procedures for stockholders or other interested parties to communicate directly with our board of directors. Such parties can contact the board of directors by mail at: Chairman of Carter Validus Mission Critical REIT II, Inc. Audit Committee, c/o Corporate Secretary, 4890 W. Kennedy Blvd., Suite 650, Tampa, Florida 33609.
The chairman of the audit committee will receive all communications made by these means, and will distribute such communications to such member or members of our board of directors as he deems appropriate, depending on the facts and circumstances outlined in the communication received. For example, if any questions regarding accounting, internal controls and auditing matters are received, they will be forwarded by the chairman of the audit committee to the members of the audit committee for review.
Board Leadership Structure; Independent Lead Director
John E. Carter serves as both our chairman of the board of directors and chief executive officer. The board of directors believes that independent oversight of management is an important component of an effective board of directors. The independentOur board of directors have determined that the most effective boardcurrently operates under a leadership structure with separate roles for us at the present time is for the chief executive officer to also serve asour chairman of the board of directors. The independent directors believe that because the chief executive officer is ultimately responsible forand our day-to-day operations and for executing our strategy, and because our performance is an integral part of board deliberations, the chief executive officer is the director best qualified to act asChief Executive Officer. Mr. Carter, chairman of the board of directors.directors, presides over meetings of the board of directors and is responsible for reviewing the agenda for the meetings of the board of directors and the annual meetings of stockholders, and Mr. Seton, as our Chief Executive Officer, is responsible for the general management of our business, financial affairs and day-to-day operations. The board of directors retains the authority to modify this structure to best address our unique circumstances, and to advance the best interests of all stockholders, as and when appropriate. In addition, although we do not have a lead independent director, the board of directors believeshas determined that the current structure is the most appropriate at the time, as we have no employees and are externally managed by our advisor, whereby all operations are conducted by our advisor or its affiliates.
The board of directors also believes, for the reasons set forth below, that our existing corporate governance practices achieve independent oversight and management accountability, which is the goal that many companies seek to achieve by separating the roles of chairman of the board and chief executive officer. Our governance practices provide for strong independent leadership, independent discussion among directors and for independent evaluation of, and communication with, our executive officers and officers and key personnel of our advisor. Some of the relevant processes and other corporate governance practices include:
A majority of our directors are independent directors. Each director is an equal participant in decisions made by the full board of directors. In addition, all matters that relate to our sponsor, our advisor or any of their affiliates must be approved by a majority of the independent directors. The audit committee is comprised entirely of independent directors.
Each of our directors is elected annually by our stockholders.
Our advisor has a one-year contract, with an annual review by, and renewal subject to the approval, of our board of directors, including a majority of the independent directors. The fees paid to our advisor must be deemed reasonable, as determined by our independent directors, on an annual basis.
The Board’s Role in Risk Oversight
The board of directors oversees our stockholders’ interest in the long-term health and the overall success of the Company and its financial strength.
The board of directors is actively involved in overseeing risk management for the Company. It does so, in part, through its oversight of our property acquisitions and assumptions of debt, as well as its oversight of the Company’s executive officers and our advisor. In particular, the board of directors may determine at any time to terminate our advisor, and must evaluate the performance of our advisor, and re-authorize the advisory agreement, on an annual basis.


In addition, the audit committee is responsible for assisting the board of directors in overseeing the Company’s management of risks related to financial reporting. The audit committee has general responsibility for overseeing the accounting and financial processes of the Company, including oversight of the integrity of the Company’s financial statements,


the Company’s compliance with legal and regulatory requirements and the adequacy of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting. The audit committee reviews any potential material issues that are raised related to the Company’s financial statements or accounting policies. Additionally, in connection with the annual audit of the Company’s financial statements, the audit committee conducts a detailed review with the Company’s independent auditors of the accounting policies used by the Company and its financial statement presentation.
Code of Business Conduct and Ethics
Our board of directors has adopted a Code of Business Conduct and Ethics that is applicable to all members of our board of directors, our officers and employees, and the employees of our advisor. The policy may be located on our website at www.cvmissioncriticalreit2.com by clicking on “Corporate Governance,” and then on “Code of Business Conduct and Ethics.” If, in the future, we amend, modify or waive a provision in the Code of Business Conduct and Ethics, we may, rather than filing a Current Report on Form 8-K, satisfy the disclosure requirement by posting such information on our website as necessary.
Compensation of Directors
Directors who are also officers or employees of the Company, our advisor or their affiliates (Messrs. Carter and Winslow) do not receive any special or additional remuneration for service on the board of directors or any of its committees. Each non-employee director receives compensation for service on the board of directors and any of its committees as provided below:
an annual retainer of $40,000 (the annual retainer increased to $40,000 from $30,000, effective January 1, 2017);

All directors receive reimbursement of reasonable out-of-pocket expenses incurred in connection with attendance at meetings of the board of directors.
Further, we have authorized and reserved 300,000 shares of our Class A common stock for issuance under the Carter Validus Mission Critical REIT II, Inc. 2014 Restricted Share Plan, or the Incentive Plan, and we granted 3,000 shares of Class A common stock to each of our independent directors at the time we satisfied the minimum offering requirement in our offering in connection with each director's initial election or appointment to the board of directors.

Compensation of Executive Officers
We have no employees. Our executive officers do not receive compensation directly from us for services rendered to us, and we do not intend to pay any compensation directly to our executive officers. As a result, we do not have, and our board of directors has not considered, a compensation policy or program for our executive officers. In addition, our board of directors believes that it is appropriate for our board not to have a standing compensation committee based upon the fact that our executive officers, including our principal financial officer, and non-independent directors do not receive compensation directly from us for services rendered to us, and we do not intend to pay any compensation directly to our executive officers or non-independent directors. Accordingly, we have not included a Compensation Committee Report or a Compensation Discussion and Analysis in this proxy statement.


Our executive officers are also officers of our advisor, and its affiliates, including Carter Validus Real Estate Management Services II, LLC, our property manager, and are compensated by these entities, in part, for their services to us. We pay fees to such entities under our advisory agreement and our property management and leasing agreement. We also reimburse our advisor for its provision of administrative services, including related personnel costs, subject to certain limitations. A description of the fees that we pay to our advisor and property manager or any affiliate thereof is found in the “Transactions with Related Persons, Promoters and Certain Control Persons” section below.

PROPOSAL NO. 2— APPROVAL OF CERTAIN CHARTER AMENDMENTS TO COMPLY WITH REQUESTS FROM A STATE SECURITIES ADMINISTRATOR
Background
Our board of directors has declared the proposed amendments to the Charter described below to be in the best interest of our stockholders and has directed that those amendments be submitted for consideration by our stockholders at our 20172018 Annual Meeting of Stockholders. Accordingly, at the 20172018 Annual Meeting of Stockholders, our stockholders will vote on the proposed amendments. If they are approved by our stockholders at the 20172018 Annual Meeting of Stockholders, as soon as is practicable following the 20172018 Annual Meeting of Stockholders, we will file the Articles of Amendment to our Second Articles of Amendment and Restatement (the "Articles of Amendment") with the Maryland State Department of Assessments and Taxation (the "SDAT"). The Articles of Amendment will become effective upon the filing of the Articles of Amendment with, and acceptance for record of the Articles of Amendment by, the SDAT.
A form of the Articles of Amendment is included as Appendix A to this proxy statement. The summary of the terms of our Charter set forth below is qualified in its entirety by our Charter. The description of the proposed charter amendments set forth below is qualified in its entirety by reference to Appendix A.
Proposal
As a publicly registered, non-listed REIT, federal and state securities laws require us to register our public offerings of our shares with both the SEC and with the state securities administrators of each U.S. state in which we offer our shares. During such state registration process, state securities administrators periodically review and comment upon the terms of our public offering and our Charter.
The securities administrator of the State of Washington has conditioned its agreement to continue the registration of our public offering in Washington upon the agreement of our management to propose certain amendments to our Charter, as described in detaildetails below, to our board of directors for consideration for submission to our stockholders. As noted above, our board of directors has declared those proposed amendments to the Charter to be in the best interests of our stockholders and has directed that they be submitted for consideration by our stockholders at our 20172018 Annual Meeting of Stockholders. We have noted to the securities administrator of the State of Washington that there is no guarantee that the proposed Charter amendments will be approved by our stockholders at the 20172018 Annual Meeting of Stockholders. If the stockholders fail to approve these amendments, the Company will continue to operate as it has been operating with respect to the items addressed by such amendments, although the State of Washington may reconsider the continued registration of our public offering in that state, which could negatively affect our ability to raise additional capital from that state in our public offering.
Roll-up Transactions
The Charter currently provides for certain protections to the Company's stockholders in connection with any proposed transaction considered a "Roll-up Transaction" (as defined below) involving the Company and the issuance of securities of any entity that would be created or would survive after the successful completion of the Roll-up Transaction. The protections afforded to the Company's stockholders in the event of a Roll-up Transaction include: (1) the requirement that an appraisal of all of the Company's assets be obtained from a competent independent appraiser and (2) the requirement that the person sponsoring the Roll-up Transaction shall offer the Company's stockholders who vote against the Roll-up Transaction the choice of either (a) accepting the securities of a roll-up entity offered in the proposed Roll-up Transaction or (b) either remaining stockholders of the Company and preserving their interests in the Company as common stockholders on the same terms and conditions as existed previously, or receiving cash in an amount equal to their pro rata share of the appraised value of the Company's net assets. In addition, Article XIV of the Charter provides that the Company is prohibited from participating in any proposed Roll-up Transaction: (1) that would result in the Company's common stockholders having voting rights in a roll-up entity that are less than those provided in Sections 11.1 and 11.2 of the Charter; (2) that includes provisions that would operate as a material impediment to, or frustration of, the accumulation of shares by any purchaser of the securities of the roll-up entity (except to the minimum extent necessary to preserve the tax status of the roll-up entity), or which would limit the ability of an investor to exercise the voting rights of its securities of the roll-up entity on the basis of the number of shares held by that investor; (3) in which investor's rights to access of records of the roll-up entity will be less than those provided to our stockholders pursuant to certain provisions of our Charter; and (4) in which any of the costs of the Roll-up Transaction would be borne by the Company if the Roll-up Transaction is rejected by the Company's common stockholders.
Definition of Roll-up TransactionTransactions
Article IV of our Charter defines a "Roll-up Transaction" as a transaction involving the acquisition, merger, conversion or consolidation either directly or indirectly of the Company and the issuance of securities of another entity (a "roll-up entity"), that would be created or would survive after the successful completion of such transaction, to the Company's common


stockholders. The Charter currently excludes from the definition of a Roll-up Transaction, among other transactions, a transaction involving the securities conversion to corporate, trust or association form of only the Company if, as a roll-up entity that have been listed on a national securities exchange for at least 12 months.consequence of the transaction, there will be no significant adverse change in Sponsor or Advisor compensation.
The securities administrator of the State of Washington required that we propose to amend the definition of "Roll-up Transaction" included in Article IV of our Charter to provide that the definition of Roll-up Transaction will exclude a transaction involving securities the conversion to corporate, trust or association form of our Company (as opposed to the securities of a roll-up entity) that have been listed on a national securities exchange for at least 12 months. As a result of this amendment, the provision of our Charter regarding Roll-up Transactions would apply to any transactions involving the securities of an entity other thanonly the Company, that have been listed onif, as a national securities exchange for at least 12 months, but would not apply ifconsequence of the Company's securities have been listed on a national securities exchange for at least 12 months.transaction, there will be no significant adverse change in Sponsor, and any Affiliate thereof or Advisor compensation. The securities administrator of the State of Washington required this proposed amendment in order to include "any Affiliate" of the Sponsor to conform to the definition of Roll-up Transaction in our Charter to the definition"Sponsor" set forth by the Statement of Policy Regarding Real Estate Investment Trusts issued by the North American Securities Administrators Association on May 7, 2007 ("NASAA(the "NASAA REIT Guidelines"). Many state securities administrators deem the NASAA REIT Guidelines to be applicable to any REIT, such as the Company, that is engaged in a public offering of securities that are not listed on a national securities exchange.
Roll-up Transaction ProhibitionsInvestment Policies and Limitations
As described above,The Charter, in addition to requiring our independent directors to review our investment policies with sufficient frequency to determine that the policies being followed are in the best interests of our stockholders, currently provides for certain guidelines in connection with our investments, including detailing permitted investments and investment limitations.


Certain Permitted Investments
Section 9.2(b) of Article XIVIX of our Charter provides that, the Company is prohibited from participating in any proposed Roll-up Transaction that, among other items, would resultpermitted investments, we may invest in joint ventures with the Sponsor, the Advisor, one or more Directors or any Affiliate, only if a majority of our directors (including a majority of independent directors) not otherwise interested in the holders oftransaction approve such investment as being fair and reasonable to us and on substantially the Company's common stock having voting rights in a roll-up entity thatsame terms and conditions as those received by the other joint venturers who are less thansimilarly situated to the rights provided for in Sections 11.1 and 11.2 of our Charter. Company.
The securities administrator of the State of Washington required that we propose to amend the second subsection (a) of Article XIV to add a reference to Section 11.39.2(b) of our Charter which wouldto provide that we may invest in such joint ventures with the Company is prohibited from participating in Sponsor,any proposed Roll-up Transaction that would result inAffiliate thereof, the holders of the Company's common stock having voting rights in a roll-up entity that are less than the rights provided for in Sections 11.1, 11.2 and 11.3 of our Charter.

It additionally provides that, in determining the requisite percentage in interest of our shares necessary to approve a matter on which our advisor, any director or any of their affiliates may not vote or consent, any shares of our common stock owned by any of them will not be included.
The revised second subsection (a) of Article XIV of our Charter, as proposed to be amended by this proposal, would read as follows (the marked text indicates changesAffiliate.Similar to the current provisions of our Charter):
(a) that would result in the holders of Common Shares having voting rights in a Roll-Up Entity that are less than the rights provided for in Sections 11.1, 11.2 and 11.3 hereof;
As a result of thisproposed amendment the Company would additionally be prohibited from participating in any proposed Roll-up Transaction that would result in the holders of the Company's common stock having voting rights in a roll-up entity in which either (1) the roll-up entity's advisor, any director or any of their affiliates is permitted to vote or consent with respect to shares owned by them on matters submitted to the stockholders regardingdefinition of “Roll-Up Transaction”, the removal of the advisor, such director or any of their affiliates, or any transaction between the roll-up entity and any of them; (2) any share owned by the roll-up entity's advisor, any director or any of their affiliates are included in determining the requisite percentage in interest of shares necessary to approve a matter on which the advisor, such director or any of their affiliates may not vote or consent. The securities administrator of the State of Washington required this proposed amendment in order to include “any Affiliate thereof” of the Sponsor to conform to the definition of “Sponsor” set forth by the NASAA REIT Guidelines.
Investment Limitations
Section 9.3(c) of Article XIVIX of our Charter, in addition to other investment restrictions imposed by our board of directors from time to time, consistent with our objective of qualifying as a REIT, prohibits us from investing in or making any Mortgage unless an appraisal is obtained concerning the underlying property except for those loans insured or guaranteed by a government or government agency. In cases in which a majority of Independent Directors so determine, and in all cases in which the transaction is with theAdvisor, the Sponsor, any Director or any Affiliate thereof, such appraisal of the underlying property must be obtained from an Independent Appraiser. The securities administrator of the State of Washington required that we propose to amend section 9.3(c) of our Charter to provide that in cases in which a majority of Independent Directors so determine, and in all cases in which the transaction is with the Advisor, the Sponsor, any Affiliate thereof, any Director or any Affiliate thereof, such appraisal of the underlying property must be obtained from an Independent Appraiser.
Section 9.3(e) of Article IX of our Charter, in addition to other investment restrictions imposed by our board of directors from time to time, consistent with our objective of qualifying as a REIT, prohibits us from investing in indebtedness secured by a mortgage on participationreal property which is subordinate to the lien or other indebtedness of the Advisor, any Director, the Sponsor or any Affiliate of the Corporation.
The securities administrator of the State of Washington required that we propose to amend Section 9.3(e) of our Charter to provide that we may not invest in Roll-up Transactionsindebtedness secured by a mortgage on real property which is subordinate to the lien or other indebtedness of the Advisor, any Director, the Sponsor,or any Affiliate thereof, or any Affiliate of the Corporation.
Similar to the preceding propose amendments to the definition of “Roll-Up Transaction” and Section 9.2(b), the securities administrator of the State of Washington required this proposed amendments to Section 9.3(c) and 9.3(e) of the Charter in order to include “any Affiliate” of the Sponsor to conform to the definition of Sponsor set forth inby the NASAA REIT Guidelines.
Liability Limitation and Indemnification
The Charter currently provides for certain limitations on liability for stockholders, officers and directors as well as indemnification, in certain circumstances, for directors, officers and our advisor or any of its affiliates.
Section 12.3(c) of Article XII of our Charter requires that prior to any indemnification provided to an indemnitee, certain conditions must be met. One of these conditions is that there must have been a successful adjudication on the merits of each count involving alleged material securities law violations as to the indemnitee.
The securities administrator of the State of Washington required that we propose to amend Section 12.3(c) to provide that indemnification can be provided in instances in which there has been a successful adjudication on the merits of each count involving alleged securities law violations, not just “material” securities law violations. The securities administrator of the State of Washington required this proposed amendment to conform to Section II.G.2 of theNASAA REIT Guidelines which only permits indemnification in instances in which “there has been a successful adjudication on the merits of each count involving alleged securities law violations as to the particular indemnitee”.
Appraisal Rights
Under Maryland law and the Charter, you will not be entitled to rights of appraisal with respect to the proposed Charter amendments set forth in Proposal 2. Accordingly, to the extent that you object to these proposed Charter amendments, you will not have the right to have a court judicially determine (and you will not receive) the fair value for your shares of common stock under the provisions of Maryland law governing appraisal rights.


THE BOARD UNANIMOUSLY RECOMMENDS A VOTE "FOR" THE PROPOSED AMENDMENTS TO OUR CHARTER TO COMPLY WITH REQUESTS FROM A STATE SECURITIES ADMINISTRATOR AS SET FORTH ABOVE


AUDIT COMMITTEE REPORT
Independent Auditors
KPMG LLP (“KPMG”) is the independent registered public accounting firm selected by our audit committee for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2017.2018. KPMG has served as our independent registered public accounting firm since 2013. The audit committee reserves the right, however, to select new auditors at any time in the future in its discretion if it deems such decision to be in the best interests of the Company and its stockholders. Any such decision would be disclosed to the stockholders in accordance with applicable securities laws. KPMG representatives will be present at the 20172018 Annual Meeting of Stockholders and will have the opportunity to make a statement if they desire to do so. In addition, KPMG representatives will be available to respond to appropriate questions posed by any stockholders.
During the period beginning January 11, 2013 through the most recent fiscal year ended December 31, 20162017 and through the subsequent interim period, neither the Company nor anyone on its behalf consulted with KPMG regarding (1) the application of accounting principles to a specified transaction, either completed or proposed; (2) the type of audit opinion that might be rendered on the Company’s financial statements; or (3) any matter that was either the subject of a disagreement or event identified in response to Item 304(a)(1) of Regulation S-K (there being none).
The audit committee reviewed the audit and non-audit services performed by KPMG, as well as the fees charged by KPMG for such services. In its review of the non-audit services and fees, the audit committee considered whether the provision of such services is compatible with maintaining the independence of KPMG. The aggregate fees billed to us for professional accounting services by KPMG for the years ended December 31, 20162017 and December 31, 20152016 are respectively set forth in the table below.

For purpose of the preceding table, the professional fees are classified as follows:
Audit fees — These are fees for professional services performed for the audit of our annual financial statements and the required review of quarterly financial statements and other procedures performed by the independent auditors in order for them to be able to form an opinion on our consolidated financial statements. These fees also cover services that are normally provided by independent auditors in connection with statutory and regulatory filings or engagements and other services that generally only the independent auditor reasonably can provide, such as services associated with filing registration statements, periodic reports and other filings with the SEC, and audits of acquired properties or businesses or statutory audits for our subsidiaries or affiliates.
Audit-related fees — These are fees for assurance and related services that traditionally are performed by independent auditors, such as due diligence related to acquisitions and dispositions, attestation services that are not required by statute or regulation, statutory subsidiary or equity investment audits incremental to the audit of the consolidated financial statements and general assistance with the implementation of Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 and other SEC rules promulgated pursuant to the Sarbanes Oxley Act of 2002.
Tax fees — These are fees for all professional services performed by professional staff in KPMG’s tax division, except those services related to the audit of our financial statements. These include fees for tax compliance, tax planning, and tax advice, including federal, state and local issues. Services may also include assistance with tax audits and appeals before the IRS and similar state and local agencies, as well as federal, state, and local tax issues related to due diligence.
All other fees — These are fees for other permissible work performed that do not meet the above-described categories, including assistance with internal audit plans and risk assessments.a subscription to an accounting research website.


Pre-Approval Policies
The audit committee’s charter imposes a duty on the audit committee to pre-approve all auditing services performed for us by our independent auditors, as well as all permitted non-audit services (including the fees and terms thereof) in order to ensure that the provision of such services does not impair the auditors’ independence. Unless a type of service to be provided by the independent auditors has received “general” pre-approval, it will require “specific” pre-approval by the audit committee.
All requests for services to be provided by the independent auditor that do not require specific pre-approval by the audit committee will be submitted to management and must include a detailed description of the services to be rendered. Management will determine whether such services are included within the list of services that have received the general pre-approval of the audit committee. The audit committee will be informed on a timely basis of any such services rendered by the independent auditors.
Requests to provide services that require specific pre-approval by the audit committee will be submitted to the audit committee by both the independent auditors and the principal financial officer, and must include a joint statement as to whether, in their view, the request is consistent with the SEC’s rules on auditor independence. The chairman of the audit committee has been delegated the authority to specifically pre-approve de minimis amounts for services not covered by the general pre-approval guidelines. All amounts, other than such de minimis amounts,including a subscription to an accounting research website, require specific pre-approval by the audit committee prior to the engagement of KPMG. All amounts other than de minimis amounts not subject to pre-approval, specifically pre-approved by the chairman of the audit committee in accordance with this policy, are to be disclosed to the full audit committee at the next regularly scheduled meeting.
All services rendered by KPMG for the years ended December 31, 20162017 and December 31, 20152016 were pre-approved in accordance with the policies and procedures described above.


Report of the Audit Committee
Pursuant to the audit committee charter adopted by the Company’s board of directors, the audit committee’s primary function is to assist the board of directors in fulfilling its oversight responsibilities by overseeing the independent auditors and reviewing the financial information to be provided to the stockholders and others, the system of internal control over financial reporting that management has established and the audit and financial-reporting process. The audit committee is composed of three independent directors. The Company’s management has the primary responsibility for the financial statements and the reporting process, including the system of internal control over financial reporting. Membership on the audit committee does not call for the professional training and technical skills generally associated with career professionals in the field of accounting and auditing, and the members of the audit committee are not professionally engaged in the practice of accounting or auditing. The audit committee’s role does not provide any special assurance with regard to the financial statements of the Company, nor does it involve a professional evaluation of the quality of the audits performed by the independent auditors. The audit committee relies in part, without independent verification, on information provided to it and on representations made by management and the independent auditors that the financial statements have been prepared in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles.
In this context, in fulfilling its oversight responsibilities, the audit committee reviewed and discussed the 20162017 audited financial statements with management, including a discussion of the quality and acceptability of the financial reporting and controls of the Company.
The audit committee reviewed with KPMG, which is responsible for expressing an opinion on the conformity of those audited financial statements with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles, the matters required to be discussed by the Statement on Auditing Standards No. 1301, Communications with Audit Committees, and their judgments as to the quality and the acceptability of the financial statements and such other matters as are required to be discussed by the applicable auditing standards as periodically amended (including significant accounting policies, alternative accounting treatments and estimates, judgments and uncertainties). In addition, the audit committee has received the written disclosures from KPMG required by Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) (“PCAOB”) Ethics and Independence Rule 3526, “Communication with Audit Committees Concerning Independence” and discussed with the independent registered public accounting firm its independence within the meaning of the rules and standards of the PCAOB and the securities laws and regulations administered by the SEC.
The audit committee discussed with KPMG the overall scope and plans for the audit. The audit committee meets periodically with KPMG, with and without management present, to discuss the results of their examinations, their evaluations of internal controls and the overall quality of the financial reporting of the Company.
In reliance on these reviews and discussions, the audit committee recommended to the board of directors that the 20162017 audited financial statements of the Company be included in its Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 20162017 for filing with the SEC.

We are party to an advisory agreement with our advisor whereby our advisor manages our day-to-day operations and identifies and makes investments on our behalf. We reimburse our advisor and its affiliates for organization and offering expenses it incurs on our behalf, but only to the extent the reimbursement would not cause the selling commissions, dealer manager fees, distribution fees and other organization and offering expenses to exceed 15.0% of the gross offering proceeds of our initial public offering or follow-on offering. Organization and offering expenses associated with our initial public offering (other than selling commission, dealer manager fees, and distribution and servicing fees) were approximately 2.00% of the gross proceeds from our initial public offering. We expect that organization and offering expenses associated with our follow-on offering (other than selling commissions, dealer manager fees, and distribution and servicing fees) will be approximately 1.50%2.00% of the gross offering proceeds. As of December 31, 2016,2017, our advisor and its affiliates incurred approximately $12,965,000$17,669,000 on our behalf in offering costs. We accrued approximately $289,000$167,000 of other offering costs due to our advisor and its affiliates as of December 31, 2016.2017. As of December 31, 2017, since inception, our advisor paid approximately $453,000 to an affiliate of our dealer manager (as defined below) in other offering costs on the Company's behalf. Other offering costs are charged to stockholders’ equity as incurred or as such amounts are reimbursed to our advisor.
We pay to our advisor 2.0% of the contract purchase price of each property or asset acquired and 2.0% of the amount advanced with respect to a mortgage loan.acquired. The total amount of all acquisition fees and expenses are limited to 6.0% of the contract purchase price of the property or in the case of a mortgage loan, 6.0% of funds advanced. The contract purchase price is the amount actually paid or allocated in respect of the purchase, development, construction or improvement of a property or the amount of funds advanced with respect to a mortgage loan, exclusive of acquisition fees and acquisition expenses. During the years ended December 31, 20162017 and 2015,2016, we incurred approximately $11,515,000$11,936,000 and $7,486,000,$11,515,000, respectively, in acquisition fees to our advisor or its affiliates. Additionally, we reimburse our advisor for acquisition expenses incurred in connection with the selection and acquisition of properties or other real estate-related investments (including expenses relating to potential investments that we do not close), such as legal fees and expenses, costs of real estate due diligence, appraisals, non-refundable option payments on property not acquired, travel and communications expenses, accounting fees and expenses and title insurance premiums, whether or not the property was acquired. We expect these expenses will be approximately 0.75% of the purchase price of each property or real estate-related investment.
We pay to our advisor an asset management fee calculated on a monthly basis in an amount equal to 1/12th of 0.75% of gross assets (including amounts borrowed) which is payable monthly in arrears. Our advisor may, in its sole discretion, choose to take any monthly asset management fee in the form of subordinated restricted Class B Units of the Operating Partnership. In the event our advisor chooses to be compensated in Class B Units, then the Operating Partnership will, within 30 days after the end of the applicable month (subject to the approval of the board of directors), issue a number of restricted Class B Units to our advisor equal to: (i) the cost of assets multiplied by 0.0625% (or the lower of the cost of assets and the applicable quarterly net asset value, or NAV, multiplied by 0.0625%, once we begin calculating NAV) divided by (ii) the value of one Class A share of common stock as of the last day of such calendar month, which will be the offering price, less selling commissions and dealer manager fees, until such time as we calculate NAV, when it will then be the per share NAV for Class A shares. Our advisor will be entitled to receive certain distributions of net sales proceeds on the vested and unvested Class B Units it receives in connection with its assets management services at the same rate as distributions received on the our common stock. Such distributions will be in addition to the incentive fees our advisor and its affiliates may receive from us, including, without limitation the subordinated participation in net sales proceeds, the subordinated incentive listing distribution or the subordinated distribution upon termination of the advisory agreement, as applicable.


Class B Units are subject to forfeiture until such time as: (a) the value of our operating partnership’s assets plus all distributions made equals or exceeds the total amount of capital contributed by investors plus a 6.0% cumulative, pretax, non-compounded annual return thereon, or the economic hurdle; (b) any one of the following events occurs concurrently with or subsequently to the achievement of the economic hurdle described above: (i) a listing of our common stock on a national securities exchange; (ii) a transaction to which we or our operating partnership shall be a party, as a result of which operating partnership units or common stock shall be exchanged for or converted into the right, or the holders of such securities shall otherwise be entitled, to receive cash, securities or other property or any combination thereof; or (iii) the termination of the advisory agreement without cause; and (c) our advisor, pursuant to the advisory agreement, is providing services to us immediately prior to the occurrence of an event of the type described in clause (b) above, unless the failure to provide such services is attributable to the termination without cause of the advisory agreement by an affirmative vote of a majority of our independent directors after the economic hurdle described above has been met. Any outstanding Class B Units will be forfeited immediately if the advisory agreement is terminated for any reason other than a termination without cause. Any outstanding Class B Units will be forfeited immediately if the advisory agreement is terminated without cause by an affirmative vote of a majority of our board of directors before the economic hurdle described above has been met. For the years ended December 31, 20162017 and 2015,2016, we incurred approximately $4,925,000$9,963,000 and $1,895,000,$4,925,000, respectively, in asset management fees. As of December 31, 2016, we did not issue any Class B Units.

Expenses in excess of the operating expenses in the four immediately preceding quarters that exceeds the greater of (a) 2.0% of average invested assets or (b) 25% of net income, subject to certain adjustments, will not be reimbursed unless the independent directors determine such excess expenses are justified. We will not reimburse our advisor for personnel costs in connection with services for which our advisor receives an acquisition fee or a disposition fee. For the years ended December 31, 20162017 and 2015,2016, our advisor allocated approximately $1,257,000$1,543,000 and $830,000,$1,257,000, respectively, in operating expenses to us.
On May 15, 2017, our advisor employed Gael Ragone, who is the daughter of John E. Carter, the chairman of our board of directors, as Vice President of Product Management of Carter Validus Advisors II, LLC. We directly reimburse our advisor any amounts of Ms. Ragone's salary that are allocated to us, which may exceed $120,000 during a fiscal year.

As of December 31, 2016,2017, we did not incur any disposition fees to our advisor or its affiliates.
Upon the listing of our shares on a national securities exchange, which we have no intention to do at this time, our advisor (in its capacity as special limited partner) will receive 15.0% of the amount by which the sum of our adjusted market value plus distributions exceeds the sum of the aggregate capital contributed by investors plus an amount equal to a 6.0% annual cumulative, non-compounded return to investors, or the subordinated incentive listing fee. As of December 31, 20162017 we did not incur any subordinated incentive listing fees to our advisor or its affiliates.

Review, Approval or Ratification of Transactions with Related Persons
In order to reduce or eliminate certain potential conflicts of interest, (A) our charter contains a number of restrictions relating to (1) transactions we enter into with our sponsor, our directors and our advisor and its affiliates, and (2) certain future offerings, and (B) the advisory agreement contains procedures and restrictions relating to the allocation of investment opportunities among entities affiliated with our advisor. These restrictions include, among others, the following:


We will not purchase or lease properties from our sponsor, our advisor, any of our directors, or any of their respective affiliates without a determination by a majority of our directors, including a majority of our independent directors, not otherwise interested in such transaction that such transaction is fair and reasonable to us and at a price to us no greater than the cost of the property to the seller or lessor unless there is substantial justification for any amount that exceeds such cost and such excess amount is determined to be reasonable. In no event will we acquire any such property at an amount in excess of its current appraised value, as determined by an independent appraiser. We will not sell or lease properties to our sponsor, our advisor, any of our directors, or any of their respective affiliates unless a majority of our directors, including a majority of our independent directors, not otherwise interested in the transaction, determines that the transaction is fair and reasonable to us.
We will not make any loans to our sponsor, our advisor, any of our directors, or any of their respective affiliates, except that we may make or invest in mortgage loans involving our sponsor, our advisor, our directors or their respective affiliates, if such mortgage loan is insured or guaranteed by a government or government agency or provided, among other things, that an appraisal of the underlying property is obtained from an independent appraiser and the transaction is approved by a majority of our directors, including a majority of our independent directors, not otherwise interested in the transaction as fair and reasonable to us and on terms no less favorable to us than those available from unaffiliated third parties. Our sponsor, our advisor, any of our directors and any of their respective affiliates will not make loans to us or to joint ventures in which we are a joint venture partner unless approved by a majority of our directors, including a majority of our independent directors, not otherwise interested in the transaction as fair, competitive and commercially reasonable, and no less favorable to us than comparable loans between unaffiliated parties.
Our advisor and its affiliates will be entitled to reimbursement, at cost, at the end of each fiscal quarter for actual expenses incurred by them on behalf of us or joint ventures in which we are a joint venture partner; provided, however, that we will not reimburse our advisor at the end of any fiscal quarter for the amount, if any, by which our total operating expenses, including the advisor asset management fee, paid during the four consecutive fiscal quarters then ended exceeded the greater of (i) 2.0% of our average invested assets for such period or (ii) 25.0% of our net income, before any additions to reserves for depreciation, bad debts or other similar non-cash reserves and before any gain from the sale of our assets, for such period.period, unless our independent directors determine such excess expenses are justified.


If an investment opportunity becomes available that is deemed suitable, after our advisor’s and our board of directors’ consideration of pertinent factors, for both us and one or more other entities affiliated with our advisor, and for which more than one of such entities has sufficient uninvested funds, then the entity that has had the longest period of time elapse since it was offered an investment opportunity will first be offered such investment opportunity. In determining whether or not an investment opportunity is suitable for more than one such entity, our advisor and our board of directors shall examine, among others, the following factors:
the anticipated cash flow of and the cash requirements of each such entity;
the effect of the acquisition both on diversification of each program’s investments by type of property, geographic area and tenant concentration;
the policy of each program relating to leverage of properties;
the income tax effects of the purchase to each program;
the size of the investment; and
the amount of funds available to each program and the length of time such funds have been available for investment.
If a subsequent development, such as a delay in the closing of the acquisition or construction of a property, causes any such investment, in the opinion of our advisor, to be more appropriate for a program other than the program that committed to make the investment, our advisor may determine that another program affiliated with our advisor or its affiliates will make the investment. Our board of directors, including our independent directors, has a duty to ensure that the method used by our advisor for the allocation of the acquisition of properties by two or more affiliated programs seeking to acquire similar types of properties is reasonable and applied fairly to us.
We adopted an asset allocation policy to allocate property acquisitions among Carter Validus Mission Critical REIT, Inc. and any other program sponsored by Carter Validus REIT Management Company II, LLC and its affiliates. All transactions will be allocated among us, Carter Validus Mission Critical REIT, Inc. and any other programs sponsored by Carter Validus REIT Management Company II, LLC by our investment committee in a manner consistent with our general investment allocation policy.


We will not accept goods or services from our sponsor, our advisor, our directors, or any of their or its affiliates or enter into any other transaction with our sponsor, our advisor, our directors, or any of their affiliates unless a majority of our directors, including a majority of the independent directors, not otherwise interested in the transaction, approve such transaction as fair and reasonable to us and on terms and conditions not less favorable to us than those available from unaffiliated third parties.

DEFINITION OF INDEPENDENT DIRECTOR
Article IV of our charter defines an independent director as follows:
Independent Director. The term “Independent Director” shall mean a Director who is not on the date of determination, and within the last two years from the date of determination has not been, directly or indirectly associated with the Sponsor or the Advisor by virtue of (i) ownership of an interest in the Sponsor, the Advisor or any of their Affiliates, (ii) employment by the Sponsor, the Advisor or any of their Affiliates, (iii) service as an officer or director of the Sponsor, the Advisor or any of their Affiliates, (iv) performance of services, other than as a Director, for the Corporation, (v) service as a director or trustee of more than three REITs organized by the Sponsor or advised by the Advisor or (vi) maintenance of a material business or professional relationship with the Sponsor, the Advisor or any of their Affiliates. A business or professional relationship is considered “material” if the aggregate gross income derived by the Director from the Sponsor, the Advisor and their Affiliates exceeds five percent of either the Director’s annual gross income during either of the last two years or the Director’s net worth on a fair market value basis. An indirect association with the Sponsor or the Advisor shall include circumstances in which a Director’s spouse, parent, child, sibling, mother- or father-in-law, son- or daughter-in-law or brother- or sister-in-law is or has been associated with the Sponsor, the Advisor, any of their Affiliates or the Corporation.
